whats JDM on your car, I ask only because of your name?
Swapping a B18c1 would be ideal for some nice power right off the bat. Im not too find of tucked 18's, fiberglass, and kits, and RWD on a civic.. and all that stuff. But welcome to the site, stick around. Have fun |

my only thoughts are if you are going to do a RWD conversion just go all out and get a really powerful motor w/ a lot of torque. probably something along the line of an sbc.

i guess i always want the biggest
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33615 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW kinda interested in this build up myself. takes allot of guts and know how to even think about tackling a project like this. kudos to ya man. I have seen some guys just take a summit 4link with frame rails kit and weld it all in and work well. But if you want to get real trick get a IRS rear end it will handle too. be sure you measure a ton of times ... dont want to see you driving down the highway sideways  be nice if something like a wrecked WRX IRS would be the right width to slap under there, then all you would need to do is cut and weld in a driveshaft tunnel, and get yourself a custom driveshaft. Put one of the above motors in and hold on be nice if you could set the motor back so it would be balanced too. doubt you will have much room for your feet though ah what the hell just drive from the back seat anyway yeah post some pics and keep us updated. GL to ya |
